Let’s Go All In On Inequality


I used to be a communist that believed everyone should be equal, or
was that a Christian that believed all men are created equal.
Whatever, perhaps it is time to put foolish dreams aside.

Who is anyone to say that others are not inherently worth more than
them, perhaps because they work harder, are smarter, or are born into
the right families. Perhaps inequality is the preferred state of
humanity.

Others may indeed be worthy of earning twice or thrice as much as you
or having twice or thrice the wealth. Indeed even as excessive a
level of inequality as five times may be justified. But I am going to
propose ten times because that is an order of magnitude and beyond
reason and a level that any higher would be incomprehensible to
rational people.

So let us build a society where the highest income earner earns ten
times the lowest earner and the richest person is ten times wealthier
than the poorest. Let’s do it. Let’s go all in on inequality.
